Currently working an ai product that will aid in development, research and monitoring of AI.
I have got a few researchers/PhDs from my university interested and they want to try it when I get it complete. I will most likely be able to get a decent ammount of PhD students from a few top ranking uni's to try it (from my network). I will let them try it for free and get feedback.
Issue is, if I want to sell to businesses, I need to set up a limited company here in the UK. And YC don't fund LTD companies (w.o going thru making another one in america then declaring the UK one as a subsidary, they seem to heavily advised against this in their website)
Would saying I got "x" number of companies interested, and "y" number of researchers using the product, but zero revenue , be deterimental. Is the fact I havent incorperated justifyiable??
Its fundamentally very tricky, since being situated in SF & incorperted in the US opens up wayyy more potential customers and businesses interested, plus having a YC branding is a major bonus. Sure I can get VCs in the UK interested but the market is so much better in the states, just being the states would massively increse the chance of success.
